Mindset Goes a Long Way

September 13, 2018September 13, 2018 molliemcn1 Comment

Take a moment. Pause. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Tune in to what you hear. The air conditioner running? Dogs barking? Birds Chirping? The sound of your infant grunting himself to sleep through the baby monitor…. Tune in to what you feel. Low-back tenderness? Pressure in your forehead? The comfort of the couch?… Continue reading Mindset Goes a Long Way

Water Aerobics & 30-minute Workout

June 12, 2018June 12, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I added water aerobics to my regular exercise program. I have never been keen on water exercise. I can’t figure out how to breathe while swimming. I’m certain I don’t perform strokes correctly. And I hate the feeling of salt or chlorine in my hair. The obvious… Continue reading Water Aerobics & 30-minute Workout

Spicing Up Your Salad

June 4, 2018June 4, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

Many times when we hear of “dieting” or “eating healthy”, it is assumed that we need to eat baked chicken breast and plain salads everyday. No flavor. No fat. No dressing. No yummy-ness. I assure you, as many recent individuals have before me, that this is not the case. Eating healthy does not have to… Continue reading Spicing Up Your Salad

Fitness: Third Trimester

May 31, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

Readers, mamas and friends: I have been waiting this entire pregnancy to feel like I needed to stop my workouts, change them up, or at the very least slow down. I have had to slow down a bit as my body has gained weight and the baby is pressing more on my diaphragm. I can’t… Continue reading Fitness: Third Trimester

Adventures in Rock-Climbing

Horseshoe Canyon Ranch

May 15, 2018May 14, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

Style first. Safety second. Or so my husband and I joke about while we’re climbing. Even if the technique is wrong, just ensure it looks stellar… I assure you. Being as safe as possible while climbing is our number one priority. Or as we like to say, we implement a lot of high-risk mitigation strategies.… Continue reading Horseshoe Canyon Ranch

Food Prep: Smorgasbord Style

May 2, 2018May 2, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

Hello Fellow Foodies!! Today, I do not bring you a full-on meal recipe. Rather, I bring you a true-life recipe. Some weeks, I sit down and determine exactly what meals we will make for the week and ensure that we get the groceries we need to make said meals. Other weeks, like this week, we… Continue reading Food Prep: Smorgasbord Style

Expectful App for Meditating Mamas

April 18, 2018April 16, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

I was reading or listening to something about self-care recently and wanted to reiterate one thing about this topic. For me, self-care is not necessarily about self-pampering. Yes, I consider myself a huge advocate of massage, hot baths and taking some you time to get your hair or nails done, but it is also important… Continue reading Expectful App for Meditating Mamas

Workouts During Pregnancy

April 17, 2018April 16, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

There are many things that make pregnancy difficult. Many things that are not my favorite. I have daily reminders that I am, in fact, still pregnant. I also have daily reminders of how MAGICAL being pregnant is. My body is making another body. It. Is. Crazy. Of course, I am a person who has always… Continue reading Workouts During Pregnancy
